    Dont see the need for dropping $100 on a bent piece of metal with four holes in it thats not including the d ring and bolts, when the factory part will do the job I need it to for a fraction of the cost. The D ring is a sweet part though.

    As others have mentioned it's crucial to have a solid recovery point front and rear. There aren't many options for the front of these trucks, so the hook that comes stock on the trd off road is a very popular option.

    So not all Tacomas have the hook on the front? I have an off road and assume that they all had it. I added the D ring hitch to the rear, figured that was the easiest and fast way to get a towing point for the rear.

    The d ring in the hitch is fantastic, and the same thing I use in the rear.

    For the front, only the off roads come with the hook. Others come with a small ring not really meant for a hard recovery. The hook bolts straight into place on all our trucks though. Does that make sense?

    The next question is, where can one procure said hook?

    Ah! Gotcha. This is the first taco I have owned (first truck in general). I am glad that I got the off road one for many reasons, here is another reason.

    You picked a good one! The best year too! If you take care of your truck the resale value will hold like crazy.

    Yeah, I take really good care of it and I love it. Don't plan to sell it though.

    Sometimes when adulting, new adulting things are needed
